Togo's parliament on Friday gave final approval to a constitutional reform which has fuelled tensions with opposition parties who fear it will allow President Faure Gnassingbe to stay in power, lawmakers said.
Togo's parliament already adopted the new constitution last month, but Gnassingbe asked lawmakers to vote again after opposition parties called the reform a "constitutional coup" by changing to a parliamentary system with a new prime minister-style post they say will allow him to be in office indefinitely.
